Portal Information

Description

Circle K is an International community service organization that specializes in helping children and families in the Big Rapids area.
Events that we are involved with include our haunted house, the Salvation Army Angel Tree, our Cardboard and Duct Tape Toboggan Race food drive, our hair drive, Easter Baskets for Mecosta County foster children, and Ferris' Big Event.
Our club is also very involved with the Michigan district of Kiwanis International, Key Clubs, and Circle K International clubs at other colleges in Michigan. We attend events around the state focusing on service and fellowship.

What else should people know about your meetings? Do you only meet once a month? Do attendees need to be added to an agenda? Is the location hard to find? If attendees need ADA accommodations, whom should they contact?

We meet nearly every week to go over future plans, community service events, upcoming socials, and discuss future changes for the club.

Live to serve. Love to serve.

What do you want people to know about your group?

Why should people join? What makes your group special? What will students gain by being a member?

Our group currently has 5-star status for our involvement on campus, in the community, and across the state. We are active in the Michigan District for Circle K International as well and recently received an award from Michigan's Kiwanis International for the growth of our club.

Philanthropy

Does your group have a fundraising, volunteer, or service initiative? Do you consistently work with a non profit organization?

Circle K International hosts fundraisers throughout the year to donate to and assist multiple charities. Every October we run our haunted house out of the old fish hatchery in Paris, Michigan. That's probably our biggest fundraiser. We're also working on getting our Cardboard and Duct Tape Toboggan Race off the ground, where we collect money and canned goods for Project Starburst. Our club also buys gifts for children at Christmas, puts together Easter baskets for foster children, collects hair for children with cancer in need of wigs, and does other scattered service projects during the year.
